 Bound Brook, Jersey, with some insects found injuring the potato. 

 They are the same striped wing covers sent to the Club in 1853, 

 by Hon. Richard Bacon, of Connecticut, which were found in vast 

 numbers in some potato fields, devouring the vines, but soon dis- 

 appeared. 



Joshua L. Pell laid on the table, strawberries from California 

 (in spirits), which were six inches in circumference when picked 

 from the vines.
